About Me

Nobody wants to see their beautiful smile lose its luster, so obviously I put a lot of effort into following the usual oral hygiene routine of brushing and flossing everyday for decades. Unfortunately, I noticed a grey discoloration as I reached middle age, and a trip to the dentist revealed that I was dealing with damage caused by tetracycline antibiotics I took as a young child with a sinus infection. It was too late to save some of my teeth, but some dental implants and quick treatment for the rest of the teeth preserved my smile before anyone else noticed what was happening.
